Is it weird that I still see the
bolded as extremely likely? I honestly don't know why, but I just can't shake the feeling that something will happen to Sakura by being connected to Rin in the upcoming chapters. I mean, Obito has to be redeemed in some way, right? How can he if Naruto (his parallel, who he admited is just like him) does not endure the same pain he went through and then comes out stronger for it?
It doesn't have to be like this, but I seriously feel like an ObiRin/NaruSaku comparision is inevitable. That's how I sure the next NaruSaku moment will come about. It just has something to do with ObiRin.
And I'm getting off-topic lol.

Last time going off-topic, since this is a game thread, but please allow me to say one last thing. As much as I don't want a repeat of Pain Invasion arc, I hope at least Obito can only revive small amount of people. Now, in the first podcast, courtesy to Darkerest, I addressed that Obito is pretty much setup for a redemption, though not like "I am going to betray Madara and beat him up." More like "I am going to one good deed and then me dead." Anyway, that's not my address. The address I was getting to is that Obito is not phased by the friendship talk from Naruto. That means it didn't work in terms of redemption. So what's the next best thing? You guessed it, love.
I believe Itachi has setup the main theme of the arc for Naruto: love and friendship. Don't you think it's coincidence that Itachi happened to use Minato as a great example of becoming a Hokage? Ok, granted he is his dad, but he even mentioned Kushina, who was what Minato called, "the important person that made him Hokage." Now, noticed Hinata never address his dreams of becoming Hokage? That because that's not her character as odd that sounds. Sakura knows his biggest dream and we witnessed her desire to make sure his dream can come true. This arc is closing many things from part 1, mainly Chunnin Exam timeline. Sakura has always been defensive for Naruto. Sakura is 100% behind Naruto to achieve his goals. Was Rin like that as well? It did indicate it. Actually, now I think about it, it's no coincidence that his dream to be Hokage resurface in this arc. I wonder why.
Honestly, this is a perfect setup and if Kishi does utilize it, not only he got my forgiveness, but he will tarnished Hinata as second rate compare to Sakura. Now, we just need Sakura doing something awesome, which is in pending. Again, the last volume was about friendships and acknowledgement of them being behind Naruto. Now why Sakura wasn't included. Could she be saved for the next volume? That will soon to be determined. I know Kishi is no fool to make ObiRin too much similar to NaruSaku. There's something that he wants to address. Right now, breathe easy with these flashbacks. We going to need it.
On game note, it may disappoint, but I'm getting it because I am a gamer.
